Saona Island – Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in a Tropical Paradise
Saona Island is one of the most iconic destinations in the Dominican Republic — and it’s easy to see why. With world-class diving, crystal-clear water, and postcard-perfect beaches, this full-day excursion is ideal for scuba divers and snorkelers visiting the Punta Cana and Bávaro areas.
Your day includes two unforgettable stops: a dive or snorkel at the Atlantic Princess shipwreck, followed by a second dive at our favorite site, El Peñón. After exploring the underwater world, we continue to Saona Island for a delicious beachside lunch and plenty of time to relax in paradise.
Group Tour – Comfortable & Easy From Punta Cana
This Saona Island diving excursion is now offered as a shared group tour, open to all guests with no minimum number of participants required. We depart Punta Cana at 7:30 AM, heading toward Bayahibe (about a 40-minute drive), where we board our boat and begin the marine adventure.
Our professional team ensures that both divers and snorkelers enjoy a safe, well-organized, and unforgettable experience.
